The popularity of social media and the convenience offered by the web for people looking for answers- even to the most sensitive of issues – the web managed to ingrain itself as a human need and no longer a luxury. And as the population explodes and more people patronize the Internet, servers play an even bigger role in keeping everything and everyone safe day in and day out.

Facebook needs powerful computers in order to store and process the millions of photos and videos it maintains for its users.

But instead of buying expensive servers from big-name brands like Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Dell Technologies, the social network designs its own servers so it can fine-tune the machines to its own specific computing needs and save some money.

As part of its continuing efforts to design its own servers, Facebook (FB, +0.63%)said Wednesday that it’s upgrading all of the servers used in its vast data centers. Additionally, Facebook said it would contribute the server blueprints to its Open Compute Project foundation, in which companies can exchange and access data center hardware designs for free so they can build their own custom gear.

Everyone has heard about Facebook at one time or another – if not already an avid user of this social media platform. You can get lost in it for hours on end reading all the posts of your friends and the people you follow. It even became the hub for businesses of all types – think of advertisers, business pages and online sellers among others. The opportunity is endless when using Facebook so it makes perfect sense for the company to take their servers to the next level.

In just six years, Facebook’s Open Compute Project (OCP) has become a major phenom in the data center hardware industry that has attracted an almost cult-like following among engineers.

And on Wednesday, Facebook upped the bar yet again.

Facebook announced that it was giving away four new designs for brand-new types of computer servers invented at Facebook.

Anyone can take these designs, modify them and use them, with contract manufacturers standing by to build them.

Those contract manufacturers include Chinese companies ike Quanta, as well as the world’s largest maker of computer servers, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE).

This is good news to all Facebook users all over the world. The social networking site values its users and making big leaps like this one in the technology they are using can help assuage the doubts and worries of many. Rest assured that millions can still continue to connect, communicate, and market using Facebook using new, better and customized servers the company offers.
